Welcome to the forum Tex. 

I don't know the answer to your question as I've never wild moored ... but I'm sure that someone will be along soon to answer your question. :)

If you mean can you moor alongside a reedbed, see n o reason why not! If you are worried about falling trees, try not to moor near a tree!!!!

Welcome  to the forum.The trick is to moor up as safe as possible. Many people  wild moor.You need to check for anything under the service that may damage  your boat,be that large stones big tree roots etc.my advice is take extra care on the southern broads  where it's more tidal.

Tripped up by the damn auto correct there mate. Just saying.

Wild mooring is great fun, trees do provide shelter from the wind. Here's a good spot on the Waveney.

Humph, Mr JM...I’ve had my eye on that one for a while, and you go and tell everyone about it! Not got in there yet!

There are a couple or three 'carrs' up that way, you're spoilt for choice!
